Increase in the Number of Female Mayors

There is still a need for improvement, as the overall proportion of women in the mayor's office is only 11.5 percent.

Lower Austria Leads in Female Mayors

Lower Austria has the best rate, with 95 municipalities led by female mayors. This corresponds to a rate of 18.6 percent. There are less than ten percent female municipal leaders in Burgenland (9.9 percent), Vorarlberg (9.4 percent), Tyrol (7.6 percent), and Carinthia (7.4 percent).

On the occasion of the annual female mayors' meeting, female mayors and deputy mayors from all over Austria gather from Sunday to Tuesday in Anif near Salzburg for an exchange. The patron is Doris Schmidauer, the wife of the Federal President.
